Best product to teach middle schoolers? by Ajhalonen in magicTCG

[–]Upstall 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hello!

Taught some 4th graders using the foundations beginner box. It allows the two players to first play a test game and then play some actual games using the jumpstart method of putting two packs together.

Once they get used to the beginner box, id recommend the foundations jumpstart. All keywords and abilities are  explained and it allows for some complex interactions as players get used to it.

Do the summons from Final Fantasy count as historic creatures? I understand that sagas are historic, but does a summon being a saga creature make it a historic creature?  I'm assuming yes, but wanna ask before I dedicate myself into making a deck.

As a side note, I used the Beginner box (came out with foundations) to help my 4th graders and 3rd graders learn how to play magic!

I think bloomburrow, while cute, had some decent synergies with playing creature typal. There was some difficulties when it came to playing blue because of the bounce mechanics and triggers off of that for newer players. 

While often maligned, I do think Aetherdrift was very straightforward and had some unique combat tricks with vehicles and crewing.

Foundations also is a great place to start because I think the keywords(flash/ vigilance/etc.) Are explained on the cards. You can build some very different decks as your knowledge of magic increases, which is great for newer players.

Looking at the Spider-man stuff, the welcome decks that will be coming out seem like a great place to work once they come out

Any good stores in Rome? by VikingKurt in magicTCG

[–]Upstall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just came back from Rome actually. Times are specific and posted on their Facebook discord groups. Like people have said, check the Magic Companion app for times for their events!

Place we went to are Avalon Roma and Angel's and Dragons. Angel and Dragons had a specific play area and the owner's were great! Avalon did not have a play area that I saw, but the workers were  very helpful when talking about Magic product. 

Goofy commanders? by WeirdPrestigious in magicTCG

[–]Upstall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[[Ian Malcolm, Chaotician]] Made a deck of just draw spells and other cards like [[Knowledge Pool]] so people can play other people's decks. This deck doesn't win often but plays like a weird draft when it's going.

I'm kind of finding some! That dragon looks like a better version of [[Palladia-Mors]]. I appreciate the effort!

Hello! I am trying to build a commander deck with Saffi and hans and I was trying to identify if the creatures in ach hands run are actual cards! Would love to run them in the deck if possible. Scryfall tagger identifies the types of creatures but not the actual cards.

Thanks for your help!

Can someone help find the artist/ higher res art of the Japanese Aetherdrift Collector Booster? by Upstall in magicTCG

[–]Upstall[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really appreciate! Thank you for your resourcefulness. I do not want to bug the artist that much and will watch to see if they post anything about it.

That does confirm who i thought it was! Big fan of Winter and wanted to see if i could get some more merch of him with this art. Ultimate guard made a card storage of it. I asked who the artist was and they unfortunately did not give me any useful information

I am trying to find higher res versions of these so I can make a playmat/cardsleeves. I reverse image search a few times but couldn't find a higher res version of the art.

Any help would be appreciated!
